There are limits set in each of the pulls… It will not pull in repeats, so you wont’ have to worry about it.
If you are testing, be sure to post frequent Tweets… and realize that sometimes your tweets/last.fm information hasn’t been updated, so there is nothing to pull… give it a few minutes…

The problem I have with the wget command is it creates a tremendous amount of logging files, so your site can begin to fill up space-wise… All of the wget switches, deal with it not showing up on the screen or creating a logging file… I’ve found that there is a great a deal of inconsistency from site to site as to whether or not the wget functions as posted or not.

Okay, so I’m getting the ‘tricks’ her. Sweet!
I just want to be sure I understand. With Facebook, I should change privacy to “everyone” for any types I’d like to share with my site, right?
It’s not like I have to kill profile security in it’s entirety or anything. Last question on that: If security is left along, but a user posts a specific update with the security set to “everyone” should that be expected to work as well? Just so I know for support questions.

What do you get when you trigger it manually? Does it work?
If it works manually, then the problem is in your cron… a cron job simply triggers a file… if you can pull the file manually… then as far as BuddyStream is concerned it is working… If that is the case, you need to work with your host more and “prod” them along…

BuddyStream is going to be offering a low-price cron pull in the very near future…

Please let me know if the file pulls manually… and post what it shows up for each pull for instance, this is what I see when I pull and it it is on Flickr:

I’ve deactivated everything but twitter to see if I can just get that working. The emailed logs from the past two are below:

When you say manually, do you mean in a browser window? I get a white screen. I’m guessing that’s not supposed to happen.

Okay. I get a white screen. Also, I apparently didn’t past the entire content of the CRON log emails I’ve been getting. Below what was shown previously, there is the html from my entire homepage. Hope that helps explain a possible cause. My host management guys entirely deferred to you. LOL.

Is there a better way to completely remove BuddyStream? I did everything you said, but when I downloaded it again and redid the installation, all the settings were still there. I’m thinking something was left over. That said, I’d still getting the white screen when I touch the script.

It’s amazing because I’m always so happy that we like NEVER have these sorts of problems. I must have messed something up bad.

No some other people have experienced a “white screen” on import, but it’s rare… I’m going to have to refer this threat to @blackphantom to see if he times to look at it.

We are looking at another maintenance release in the next 14 days or so, but I don’t think it will address this issue as we can not replicate it on our end yet… Let’s see what Peter has to say about this…

Woops. Sorry. I’m running it with curl per your recommendation. And just to be clear, the emails aren’t crazy because I get so many of them. That’s fine until it’s working. They’re doing that thing again where they start with:
